Innovative Design Cuts Crops —
And Maintenance — Down To Size
Whether you cut hundreds of
hay acres or clip a handful of pasture
or conservation acres, there’s a
New Idea disc mower conditioner or
disc mower with the rugged dependability
and easy upkeep you need.
Every model features low-profile,
high-speed disc cutterbars that glide
through fields of lush alfalfa, tangled
vegetation or towering prairie grass
quickly and easily, while standing up
to unusual field conditions, such as
gopher mounds and fireant hills, that
choke and stall other mowers.
New Idea developed the technology
for segmented hex driveshafts and
true modular cutterbars, to significantly
reduce downtime and maintenance
costs. Two short hex driveshafts
replace six different driveshaft lengths,
on the 5400 Series mowers and 5200
Series mower conditioners. The new
5512 mower conditioner features a
low-profile cutterbar design with gear-
to-gear drive for smooth operation
and cutting heights down to 1.3”
(33mm).
On all New Idea models, the discs
are oval shaped to increase the overlap
for cleaner cutting. Two doubleedged
knives on each disc can easily
be reversed or replaced. Their modular
design allows individual removal and
quick servicing of any unit.
Other innovative features include:
A slip clutch to extend the life of the
gearcase, cutterbar and PTO driveline.
An overrunning clutch to protect
the tractor’s PTO and driveline when
the PTO is disengaged. A floating,
three-point header suspension system
on mower conditioners to cut close
without scalping.
The 5512 features a new
spur-gear cutterbar for rugged
durable, easy servicing, and
lower power requirements.
Driven by durable, segmented
hex driveshafts, the alternaterotating
units on the 5200 and
5400 series bolt together to
form the patented modular
cutterbar.

5400, 5200, 5500
5200 and 5500 Series Disc
Mower Conditioners
New Idea disc mower conditioners
are designed to help you improve relative
feed value and maximize crude
protein in your hay. Thanks to innovative
New Idea cutterbar technology,
you’ll glide through fields of lush alfalfa
and other crops quickly and easily.
Yet, your crops will be treated gently,
so nutrient-rich leaves and stems keep
their feed value longer, maximizing
your return per acre.
New Idea uses brand name TiCor ®
rolls that feature a unique, shallowlugged
intermeshing spiral design that
provides gentle handling and positive
feeding. TiCor ® rolls are formed by
compressing stacks of tough tire
cores, which are then machined for
precise roll gap adjustment. Crops are
conditioned uniformly, and stems are
lightly crimped to speed drydown,
without damaging leaves.
TiCor ® rolls also offer other distinct
advantages over rubber-on-steel
conditioner rolls. TiCor ® rolls absorb
shocks from rocks or other foreign
objects with less damage. And,
because TiCor ® rolls are made out of
rubber through and through, rubber
can’t peel away from steel rolls.
New optional drawbarmounted
swivel hitch permits
sharper than 90º turns
without driveline stress, chatter
or damage on the 5512.
Thanks to hydraulic powerout
plug removal on the
5200 series, you can
separate the conditioning
rolls, quickly dislodging tree
limbs and other debris,
without leaving your seat.
An adjustable windrow
deflector shapes uniform
swaths and lets you match
width to crop and weather
conditions, for fast, even
drydown.

5400 Series Disc Mowers
Available in five sizes, from the compact 5’6” (1.68m)
Model 5406 to the big 10’4” (3.12m) Model 5410, New
Idea disc mowers are reliable workhorses, year after year.
These strong, all-purpose mowers take on tall, tangled,
thick stands at speeds other mowers can’t match.
What’s more, thanks to the most reliable cutterbar
technology in the industry, you’ll do more than save time
in the field. You’ll also save time on upkeep, reduce
downtime and cut maintenance costs. The modular
cutterbar bevel gear design even lets you operate with
less horsepower, further reducing operating costs.
The team effort of the
full-length broach and
segmented hex driveshafts
significantly reduces wear
and tear on the mower’s
drive components.
When the cutterbar contacts
large objects, like
rocks or limbs, it automatically
pivots rearward to
clear the obstruction
and protect the mower
from damage.
Outer flotation springs
(optional on Models 5406
and 5407) and inner flotation
springs provide support for
both ends of the cutterbar,
reducing drag and increasing
cutting efficiency.
